There are only a few GF offerings but was glad to have any. I ate a small salad without a protein. My server was knowledgeable about allergy precautions and I did not react negatively to my meal.

They have exactly one entree that is labeled GF and maybe 3 sides. I asked for a salad, with their GF dressing and it came out with some hidden croutons on it. Do not recommend

Cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. When ordering I informed my waitress, Ellen B (shout out, the actual best) that I had Celiac. She went out of her way to make sure I was able to eat a quality meal like the rest of my group. She double checked what I could eat and even asked if I could go into detail about what Celiac is so she could let the kitchen know. My table got dessert and she brought out a small bowl of vanilla ice cream even though it isn’t a stand alone item. I had the filet mignon and it was cooked perfectly and was incredibly tender. I look forward to visiting again very soon!

Only two items were labeled gluten free. Got the salmon salad. Server had no idea what a gluten allergy or celiac was. Food runner brought out dishes with no gloves touching the salad which was very upsetting, allergies aside. Food was too pricey for the quality.

Didn’t feel the most confident eating here and just stuck with a salmon salad, which was delicious. The view and vibe were great though.

Ask the waitress right away about what was gluten free and she said that she could ask the chef to make anything on the menu gluten free even if it wasn’t marked and they would cook everything separate. They also have a gluten free beer menu. I got the Moerburger with the gluten free bun and the Glutenburg Stout. Bun was typical but the burger and beer were great. Loved my experience there and didn’t get even a little sick.

There are many gluten free options clearly marked on the menu, and our waiter (Michael) was aware of celiac disease, and made sure that the chefs would use clean tools and gloves to make my meal. On top of all that, the food was amazing! I had the brussel sprouts and blackened tilapia. Highly recommend!

I had prime rib (no au jus) and Bard's beer and both were fantastic. No cross contamination. Great place. Eager to return. Only the dishes paired with GF sides have a GF mark, so there are many more options than it may seem. Ask the server.

Update: I got very sick the last time I went. Everything tasted good but felt terrible later. I've eaten here four times, so one out of four glutened me.

They didn't have a specific gluten free menu but the hostess indicated there was an icon that indicated what could be made GF.

I sat down and realized there was only 2 options marked: a salad and a tofu meal.

I had the salad, it was ok but I thought there would be a lot more options given the ratings on the app. It is a rest location with a beautiful view but they could do so much more to make it GF friendly.

It's good and waitress seemed knowledgeable BUT THEY DONT HAVE GF CRABCAKES ANYMORE. That was why I loved going to this place. If they still had them I would probably give it 5 stars. Now I'll go for ok food with an amazing view not amazing food.

The waiter was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I am a pretty sensitive Celiac, and I was perfectly fine eating the Moer burger (modified to be gf...it was AMAZING) and the mashed potatoes. I am too sensitive to eat food in a shared fryer, so I did not eat anything fried. They also had a great gf beer!! It was bottled, but let's face it: gf beers are never on draft.

Just delicious! Some things that are not marked GF can be made so by simply leaving off the accompanying sides.

While options are limited, food very good. Not sure why their steaks or rotisserie chicken can't be GF, especially when the GF salad has rotisserie chicken. Good experience overall. Good GF bun for burgers.

It was game day busy when we visited but the server was very kind and willing to ask the chef a couple questions regarding gluten free options. Menu was clearly marked and they even offer GF buns for burgers/sandwiches!

Great time had. My wife (gluten intolerant) ordered crab cakes (marked gluten free on the menu). Our waiter paused a moment to make sure they were in fact gluten free. We were surprised too. They are, and were fantastic. She also had a really good beer. One of our better dining experiences.

A little pricey, but in line with the area.

Moerlein is delicious! Not only do they have hard cider on tap, but many of their menu items are available gluten free! Our server was very knowledgeable about the gluten free options and you have to try a burger on their gluten free bun! Can't wait to go back!

Menu is marked with gluten free items, they even have gluten free buns for the hamburgers. The sweet potato chips are fried in clean oil every morning before anything else and I have never had an issue with them. I also really like a few of the salads. They usually have 1 or 2 gluten free beers available plus some ciders.
